*** Edition originale. Chancel remplaça Gerhardt, à la chaire de chimie de Montpellier. "After studying at the Ecole Centrale de Paris, Chancel (Loriol,1822-Montpellier, 1890) worked in the laboratory of Jules Pelouze. In 1846, he was an assistant in chemistry at the Ecole des Mînes, and when Charles Gerhardt left Montpellier, Chancel replaced him as professor of chemistry (1851). He (.) received its Jecker Prize in 1884 for his work in organic chemistry. (.). Chancel claimed no priority of discovery but simply stated that he had reached the same results as Williamson and that these discoveries confirmed the ideas of Gerhardt and Laurent on the constitution of alcohol and ether".
